Commission honors officers for burglary arrest, narcotics seizures and robbery response
President Pollock read letters recommending commendations and commissioners approved them by voice vote. The first recognition recommended Level 2 commendations for Officer Nicholas Wright and Detective Aaron Meyer after surveillance and follow-up led to the arrest of a burglary suspect; the commission carried that motion.

In a second case, the commission awarded Level 2 commendations to Officer Jillian Evans and Detective Quanta Osborne for a traffic stop on June 26, 2026 that produced narcotics, multiple firearms and over $9,000 in U.S. currency. A third recommendation recognized Corporal Michael Bunnell (Level 3) and Officer Terrence Burnowski (Level 1) for a robbery response on August 11, 2026 that resulted in the recovery of four loaded firearms and an arrest. Commissioners offered brief personal remarks in support before approving the awards.
